Bing further?...
Hi there!
I am trying to write a leter of intent and I came across this problem:
"I have already established a fruitful collaboration with Prof. X, that I would like to bring further by studying at your university."
2 questions:
1. I am sure "bring further" makes no sense in the context. What I mean to say is "develop even more", go further with our collaboration", but I need a phrase that seems on the tip of my tongue.. Could you help me with this phrase?
2. Is "by" ok in the context? (showing the means by which I would like to develop my collaboration with the Prof.)
Thank you very much, I hope my questions were clear enough...

1) Why not simply "develop further"? 2) "By" is fine.

1. It sounds fine, I was just wondering if there isn't any phrasal verb with the same meaning though?
2. Thanks!

These are not phrasal verbs, but might suffice:
foster, cultivate, strengthen
foster, cultivate, strengthen
